Volatile utility costs
Water and power rate increases compress operating margins on properties where consumption is largely non-discretionary. Every unit of avoided consumption drops straight to NOI.
CONSERV+ designs, deploys and verifies purpose-built water and electric conservation appliances — paired with custom usage engineering — for hotels, resorts, campus housing and healthcare facilities. Owner-side hardware. Measured results. No disruption to the guest or resident experience.
The Problem
Large campus-type and high-density properties run 24 hours a day on aging distribution infrastructure. Constant occupancy, continuous laundry and kitchen loads, and passive fixtures combine into millions of gallons and kilowatt-hours of annual waste that never appears as a distinct line item — it is simply absorbed into the utility bill.
Water and power rate increases compress operating margins on properties where consumption is largely non-discretionary. Every unit of avoided consumption drops straight to NOI.
The market sells standalone hardware or standalone software. Neither party owns the outcome, so nobody surveys the building, specifies the right device per fixture, and then proves the delta.
Without granular, continuous auditing at the point of management, waste is invisible. Facilities cannot justify capital against savings they have never been able to isolate.
That is the range CONSERV+ targets in high-occupancy facilities. It is recoverable without capital-intensive infrastructure replacement, without changing how occupants use the building, and without asking the utility for permission — because every device we deploy sits on the owner side of the meter.
What We Do
Two disciplines, one engagement: a family of conservation devices engineered so that utility supply is drawn only when it is actually needed, and the survey-and-optimization work that determines exactly where each one belongs.
Devices installed at the fixture, on the owner side of the meter, that eliminate passive draw and restrict supply to occupied demand. No interference with normal sanitary use or occupant comfort.
The same discipline applied to electrical load: establish a true baseline, isolate continuous and phantom draw, then deploy controls and retrofits against the loads that actually move the bill.
Technology
The commode is the only water fixture in a building without a hard shut-off. The Water Lock supplies the shut-off the fixture never had, and understanding that single fact is what makes a 30%+ reduction possible without touching occupant behavior.
Every water utility must maintain a defined pressure in its mains. A washing machine, dishwasher or refrigerator has a hard shut-off. A toilet does not. The angle stop at the wall was never designed to be cycled with each use, so the fixture depends on the valve inside the tank to perform a passive shut-off.
During low-demand periods — overnight, for example — municipal pressure rises. Because the tank valve is passive, it bleeds water in to maintain bowl level, and that water goes straight down the drain. The loss is called creep, and because it passes through the meter, the owner pays for every gallon of it.
Engagement Model
We survey the property ourselves, prove the savings on a limited deployment against your own meters, and then stay on to manage performance. The owner carries no risk in the trial phase.
Proprietary on-site diagnostic assessment mapping water flow points, thermal loads and electrical baselines — then identifying the retrofit targets with immediate ROI. Performed by our own technical teams, not subcontracted.
Targeted pilot hardware deployed on-site to demonstrate savings within 30 to 60 days. Controlled test populations account for occupancy variation, so the measured delta is defensible to ownership and finance.
Ongoing advisory, performance tracking, utility rebate navigation, and shared-savings or subscription optimization models. Multi-property rollout sequencing for portfolio operators.
Verified Results
More than 3,000 motion-activated water restrictor devices installed across 26 economy apartment-hotel properties in the United States. Every figure below is measured against each property’s own pre-installation utility baseline.
Total water usage reduced by an average of 32.5% across the portfolio, with individual sites ranging from 11% to 59% depending on fixture count, age and occupancy profile.
Because avoided consumption is a pure cost reduction rather than a revenue initiative, savings flow directly to net operating income and property valuation.
Nearly 45 million gallons conserved annually — evidence that aggressive resource conservation and financial performance are aligned rather than in tension.

Current engagement — Las Vegas resort portfolio. CONSERV+ is in controlled pilot across a 13-property Las Vegas resort portfolio, with approximately 25,000 fixtures in total scope. The program advanced from an initial limited installation to a matched 50-with / 50-without controlled test designed to isolate device performance from occupancy variation. Client identity and interim results are held under confidentiality.
Markets Served
We focus deliberately on property types where consumption is continuous, fixture counts are high, and a single decision-maker controls many buildings — because that is where verified savings compound into portfolio-wide rollouts.
High guest turnover, extensive laundering, commercial kitchens, HVAC and aquatic amenities create massive year-round water and power draw.
Multi-building residential complexes with shared utilities, where unmonitored consumption and fixture degradation lead to runaway utility bills.
Hospitals and assisted-living centers operating 24/7 under strict climate control and sterilization protocols, with heavy continuous power and water demand.
Office campuses, municipal buildings and education facilities with dense restroom cores and predictable unoccupied periods.
Facilities where thermal load dominates the electrical bill and water is a cooling input rather than a sanitary one.
Owners and management companies seeking one verified program they can sequence across many assets rather than negotiating vendor by vendor.
Company
Conservation only counts when it can be measured, and it only survives a budget review when the measurement converts into money. Our mission is to remove water and electrical waste from high-occupancy buildings in quantities that are independently verifiable at the meter — and to report that reduction in both ecological units and net dollars returned to the owner.
Drive a verified reduction in total potable water draw at every property we touch, measured against that property’s own pre-installation utility baseline rather than a manufacturer’s model. Passive-draw losses that serve no occupant are targeted first, because they are the largest and the least disruptive to recover.
Establish a true circuit-level electrical baseline, isolate continuous and phantom draw, and retire the load that carries no occupant benefit. Every kilowatt-hour claimed is tied to a measured before-and-after, ranked by simple payback so capital goes to the loads that actually move the bill.
Report conservation in units that survive an audit and can be carried directly into an ESG or sustainability disclosure: gallons of potable water returned to municipal supply, treatment and pumping load avoided, and the energy never consumed to move, heat or process that water. No estimates we cannot source to a meter.
Avoided consumption is a pure cost reduction, so it flows straight to net operating income and, through it, to asset valuation. We hold ourselves to net savings after program cost — not gross utility reduction — and structure engagements so our economics improve only when the client’s do.
CONSERV+ actively partners with project consultants, energy and sustainability advisors, and C‑PACE capital providers who want verified, long-horizon utility reduction on commercial properties. Our measured water and electrical savings are well suited to assessment-based financing: the conservation is metered, the baseline is documented, and the resulting savings profile is durable enough to underwrite against.
If you originate C‑PACE transactions, advise commercial owners on retrofit capital, or manage efficiency programs across a portfolio, we would like to talk about integrating CONSERV+ into your project pipeline.
